Chick-fil-A to open metro's first standalone restaurants

Chick-fil-A said it's planning an expansion in the Omaha metro with its first two standalone restaurants scheduled to open in late fall.

The restaurant will hold site dedication events on Aug. 29 at locations in Papillion and Bellevue.

The Papillion location will be at 8710 S. 71st Plaza and the Bellevue location will be at 2016 Cornhusker Road.

Late last year, Chick-fil-A opened an express restaurant inside the Mutual of Omaha building near 33rd and Farnam streets, which has had a private version of the restaurant for its employees since 2002.

Chick-fil-A said between the two locations, nearly 150 jobs will be created in the area.

Hiring is expected to begin early in the fall.
